Better way to get index of ordered queryable list at entity framework?

Question

Are there any way to get index of ordered queryable without getting all items?

My code seems to be killer of network traffic:

 public virtual async Task<int> GetIndexOfQueryable<TOrderKey>(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> whereExp, Predicate<TEntity> findIndexExp, Expression<Func<TEntity, TOrderKey>> orderbyExp, bool descending)
    {
        IQueryable<TEntity> query = whereExp != null ? DbSet.Where(whereExp) : DbSet.AsQueryable();
        if (orderbyExp != null)
            query = !descending ? query.OrderBy(orderbyExp) : query.OrderByDescending(orderbyExp);
        return (await query.ToListAsync()).FindIndex(findIndexExp);
    }
